Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 oz lox, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1-2 Tbsp capers, chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • Bagel chips for serving

Instructions

  • Spread cream cheese over a serving platter or plate. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to make this easy!
  • Spread the chopped lox, red onion, dill, and capers over the top of the cream cheese.
  • Use a microplane or citrus peeler to zest or peel the lemon. Arrange lemon zest on top.
  • Refrigerate one hour (if you can take it!) before serving. This helps firm up the ingredients. You can serve this as soon as you finish prepping it as well, the cream cheese will just be softer. Serve with bagel chips or toasted bagel halves and enjoy!
